They knew you were watching....oops,said to muchDoc, for a smart guy I am surprised that you haven't figured out that the entire world is engaged in a conspiracy to drive you nuts, we have joined the conspiracy of your patients.

Reminds me of my father telling me:If you are going in one direction and the entire world is going in the opposite direction, you might want to check your compass

The Mother - we need to go for a beverage together sometime! I never thought anyone else was as much like me!

Himself seems to think it is bad for a car to be dirty or driven in a high gear (Brit car = stick) - the last one is in perfect condition mechanically after 180,000 miles treated thus. I do agree to a quick spin through the wash when we've been to GB and the seagulls on the east coast have used it for target practice though.

The one anonymous and Moose said it all. Rain doesn't completely wash your car. My driver's side and passenger's side windows have a thin layer of white grime. All last week, it rained in my part of the country. As I drove, everything on my windshield was deposited to my side windows. I also have brake dust on my front tires. Didn't really do much for that either.

Obviously, you don't understand basic physics. It is well established that it always rains after you wash your car. So basic logic dictates that if it is raining and you wash your car, the rain will stop. And it did eventually stop raining, right? So these people that you so severely criticize were merely performing a public service.

I would like to know how big your gas tank is. The car wash at the gas station I go to takes 5 - 10 minutes per car, so if the car wash at the gas station you go to is similar, you were pumping gas for between 15 - 50 minutes! :o
